History Awesome / EverAfter

** Just the fact that Danielle has the inner-strength to [[{{Forgiveness}} forgive]] her step mother (''not'' ''[[EasilyForgiven condone]]'') by never giving another thought to her (after Rodmilla and her daughter have been [[LaserGuidedKarma properly dealt with]]). It's not easy to forget a tormentor who has made life miserable for a full decade of your life, but for Danielle, it's not impossible.
** What's more, as opposed to how her stepmother and stepsister often have the servants shipped off to the Americas willy-nilly, Danielle steps in to save them from a similar fate. Not only is she being the bigger person, but she's holding herself to her own standards, as she previously debated with Prince Henry over how banishing Maurice and the other prisoners to America was wrong. Danielle truly is more a noble woman than Rodmilla if she kept herself from becoming a {{Hypocrite}}. If anything, [[SweetAndSourGrapes she gave her a WORSE punishment]] just by keeping her in France.

** Even better is that both of them are stained purple from the dye; at the time, purple was expensive and only available to the royalty. Rodmilla and Marguerite are wearing purple, but not at all as they imagined that they would.

* Danielle hurls apples at a man trying to steal her father's horse, and not only succeeds in knocking him off, but ''continues to attack him''. After she learns who he is, she's understandably [[OhCrap taken aback,]] but not only does Henry spare her from punishment, he actually [[PetTheDog pays her]] to keep quiet about seeing him.

* The head washerwoman knocking Rodmilla and Marguerite into the laundry pool at the end, saying that their squabbling is getting on her nerves. If her [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure no-nonsense personality]] is any indication, it wouldn't matter if Rodmilla and Marguerite were still nobles.

** UsefulNotes/LeonardoDaVinci is the Fairy Godmother of this adaption (without magic, of course). Who could be more awesome than the greatest inventor of history?

* Henry has another great moment, crossing into [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments cute]] and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]] as well, when [[spoiler: he tells a sobbing Gabriella that she's free to walk out from their ArrangedMarriage and [[UptownGirl go for the courtier she loves]].]]

** Before-hand, Danielle ripping into her stepmother and Margarite, from "[[ArmorPiercingResponse What troubles you more, that I am common or competition]]?" to defiantly [[SarcasmMode wondering where all the missing stolen goods went]], right down to calling out how disgusting it is that the duo treat Prince Henry less like a person and more like a [[TrophyHusband prize to hunt down]].

* As punishment for his disobedience, the king tells Prince Henry that he'll "deny you the crown and... live forever!" Much to the King's dismay, Henry replies, "Good. Agreed. I don't want it!"

-->'''Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent:''' [''meekly'']And how long might that be?

-->'''Danielle:''' [''smiling, to Rodmilla''] I want you to know that I will forget you after this moment and never think of you again. But you, I am quite certain will think about me every single day for the rest of your life.
